The star of the show, taro powder, provides that signature flavor and lovely light purple color. Choosing a high-quality taro powder ensures a rich taste, while condensed milk gives the drink its creamy texture and sweetness. If you want a lighter option, consider using unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk as a base, both add a unique twist while still preserving the taro flavor. Don’t forget to enjoy this drink chilled, as it’s the perfect refreshment for a warm afternoon!

After your taro mixture has cooled, it’s time to mix it with the sweet condensed milk. In a glass, combine the two and stir until they are well incorporated. Serve it over ice cubes for a refreshing treat! I often like to give it a little extra stir before sipping to ensure every drop has that creamy, sweet goodness. While the base recipe is simple, feel free to experiment with toppings or mix-ins to suit your palate! You can find more refreshment ideas in this No-Bake German Chocolate Pie.
